Good Morning.

( Note: We have changed the site of our Cam # 1 for a few days. It will be showing the Fountain, roses and bird feeders in the front yard. You can still see the garden on Cam # 2. Thanks, )

Staking Tomato Plants

.
By Michelle Fabio.
.
If all is going well with your tomato plants, soon you’ll be considering staking them.If you need a refresher course on the process, here is list of frequently asked questions about staking:
What is Staking?Staking is a way to physically support tomato plants as they grow.
Why should I stake tomato plants?The two most important reasons you should stake tomato plants are:
• Staking provides physical support so tomato plants don’t break under the strain of fruit or inclement weather;
• Staking enables better air flow through tomato plants, which results in less internal moisture that can result in disease.
How do I stake tomato plants?There are several ways you can stake tomato plants including single wooden stakes driven into the ground, frames, trellises, and cages.
How do I know which staking method is right for my tomatoes?Which staking method you should use for your plants depends on the type of tomato as well as how many tomatoes you’d like to Read the rest of this entry »

Well we are still seeing very nice weather , here at 3 A.M. the temperature is 63 and we are looking for a little more sunshine today. In looking over my tomato garden I can see a lot of growth. The last few days has been good for them.
.
My two Cams # 1 and 2 will give you two different views of the garden, the link to these are in the side panel, I hope that you will have time to look at them today.
.
Look over at the side panel on the right side and you will see Dad's Tomato Garden Album. Just above the Eagle. That is there all the time, but for a better and larger view go too the link below. Here is the link that will take you toDad's Tomato Garden 2009 .
(Be sure and use the slideshow on the link above, for a much better view. Thanks DAD).
.
The Eagle Web Cam that takes us up to the eagles nest is back, and I am glad, I watched them a lot yesterday and they seem to be doing good. It seems to me that they are wanting to get out of that nest. You better look soon or you might miss them..
..
I am getting a few questions about Tomatoes, but I could handle more. On this page Dad's Tomato Garden Web Page are a few things that might help, if not Old Dad is always glad to talk to you, I never close, white6416r@aol.com or cell phone 865-850-5763.

This above is just an example of what you will find on my side panel, there is lots more that you might find interesting, you will even find Tennessee Granddaddy over there and you know that you don't want to miss him. Dad.
.
Here is my thought for today.
" The kindly word that falls today may bear it's fruit tomorrow."
.
and this ---
" To speak kindly does not hurt the tongue."
.
The two thoughts above are from Apples if Gold.
..
It is time for me to leave you, I hope to see you in the morning if I am able, at my age you never know, I hope that your day is a good one and I would like to tell you how we can help make it so. " Think more of others and less of ourselves.'' Why don't we try that out today.

BYE BYE DAD

Morning, Dad! I just finished work and thought I'd stop by for a cup of tea before bed. I think later today I will go and buy a couple of container tomato plants and plant them in your honor! I'm going to put them in pots because we mav be moving to a new place soon and I want to be able to take them along if we do!

Glad to hear the eagles are back. I'll check on them as soon as I can; I guess it's still dark there now.

Good Morning ! It was so nice to see your roses and the baby ducks this morning. We have had them around here too. The ducks, but no roses yet. The buds are forming though. I do hope your day is a great one.

Good Morning Dad, I know I have been very bad about journaling and commenting lately. Life has a way of becoming way to crazy at times! Hopefully it will slow down and I can get back to the things that I love doing. Hope your doing well. Glad the tomatos are coming along nicely. Linda

Good afternoon, Dad and Ms. Mary! What a gorgeous red rose, and your lawn is so green, too! I enjoyed seeing the ducks and geese very much. None of the WebCams are working for me today, but I can see by your embedded video that things are looking promising in the tomato garden ;)

Appreciated your Thoughts For The Day, too.
Have a wonderful rest of the day and evening! Love and hugs from Jamaka and fams
